Dennis and Ora Richards wed 22 Nov 1921 Ruth Iowa Miller ----------------------- NEW MARKET, Terrible Accident Results in Death John A. Dennis Fatally Wounded While Putting up Hay. One of the most terrible accidents it has ever been our lot to record occurred last Saturday noon at the A. W. Dennis home north east of New Market, when John Dennis received fatal injuries when he fell from the hay mow of his father's barn. They were threshing timothy at the A. W. Dennis home and John was working in the hay loft. They were just quitting for dinner and as John came down from the loft he slipped and fell, falling estraddle of a pitch fork at the foot of the ladder. The handle of the fork penetrated his body and into his bowels to a depth of eleven inches. He was alone at time and he pulled the fork handle out himself, but was soon found lying on the ground writhing in agony. Dr. Cleary was called, who gave first aid treatment, and the Walker & Shum ambulance called from Clarinda. He was rushed to St. Joe to the hospital, where he was operated on at once, but the fork had struck a vital spot and he died shortly after midnight Saturday night. The deceased was one of the finest young men of the community and his death will be most keenly felt by the young wife and children who are left alone. The most profound sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved ones in this terrible calamity. John A. Dennis, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Dennis, was born in Taylor County, Iowa, February 20,1898, and departed this life at Noyes Baptist hospital at St. Joe, Missouri, on August 3rd, 1930. Aged 32 years, 5 months and 13 days.

When twenty-one years of age he became affiliated with Bethany Lodge No. 320 A.F. and A.M., Blockton, Iowa, later transferring to Covenant Lodge No. 453, New Market, Iowa.
